WELCOME TO RECEPTION
Your teaching team is Mrs. Perry (class teacher) and Miss Archer ( terrific TA).
Reading
We encourage our children to read as much as possible at home, and to motivate them we reward every 10 reads at home with a ‘dip in the box’. Please ensure you read daily as much as possible, as consistency is much better for your child. Don't forget to write in your child's record.
We have signed up to Oxford Owls.

Maths
It is important that your child understands that numbers represent amounts and that they become confident with adding and taking away amounts up to 10. Please try to incorporate this understanding of amounts into your daily lives, such as getting 4 forks when laying the table, or finding 6 blocks of lego when playing.
Class dojo
Please make sure you have the class dojo app. We will use this platform to share pictures of your children and to update you with current information.
P.E
Our P.E day is Friday
Please could you help your child to be more independent in dressing and undressing themselves. This would be a massive help when it comes to PE days and developing their gross motor skills.
Also as usual please label all items of clothing and footwear that your child wears. Please leave kit in school all half term.
This Welcome to Reception Booklet will provide you with extra information.
Here is a list of ideas to help your child learn at home.

In our class the children love to make models this is a very important part of a child's development. For the children to do this we need your help by bringing in any empty boxes, cartons, tubes, bottle tops or even empty packaging trays.
Reward system
We follow the school reward system where children are given a stamp on a chart. They can receive a stamp for many things such as when they are well behaved, try really hard with their work or are kind and helpful. When their card is full (25) they stand up in assembly and receive a dip in the box. Then they move onto the next colour card. A full card goes into the red envelope and at the end of the year your child could win a Nintendo DS!
How we learn
Please try not to be cross when your child has pen, paint or mud on their clothes. We learn best when we are physically active and engaged, and in our love of learning we usually forget to stay clean!
